Democrats Need to Get Off Capitol Hill to Win the Gas Price War
While I admire Reid for what he's done I think he is incorrect in the assumption he made that the Democrats are winning on the energy and gas price issue.

McCain's New Commercial Should Drive Voters to Obama
What is McCain's next commercial going to be? That Obama is responsible for global warming? The recent outbreak of salmonella? The inability of the Chicago Cubs to win a World Series?
Friday Talking Points [39] -- Republican Elitism Edition
For only the fourth (or fifth, depending on how you count) time in his presidency, George W. Bush had a veto overridden by both houses of Congress thi...
Bush Cheerleads While the Economy Dives
I was extremely confused by Bush's rosy economic speech. Here my local bank, IndyMac, is collapsing, with distraught customers waiting in line for hours last week to get their money.
Wish To Be Poor and Unemployed? Support Military Attacks on Iran
Whereas the implications of a war with Iran for the national security of the US would be much worse than those of the Iraq war, little has been said about the implications for our economic security here at home.
What Bush Didn't Promise: Lower Gas Prices
If you read closely, you'll notice Bush did not explicitly claim that coastal drilling would significantly lower the price of the gas -- because it won't.

We're so screwed that there's no way we can drill ourselves out of this mess. What will it take for people to accept the fact that the era of livin' large is over?
T. Boone and Me
Flying to visit his wind operations in Sweetwater, Texas, T. Boone Pickens makes it clear that his next wind project is big, Texas-style -- 4,000 megawatts up in the Panhandle north of here.
A Full Tank of Nonsense
McCain's new ad accuses Obama of keeping gas prices high, all by himself. That's absurd, and McCain knows it - he has said repeatedly that our current problems were "30 years in the making."
Facts and Lies about Lowering Oil Prices
Big Oil makes more money when prices go up and that money is nicely spread among its allies in Congress. Trusting these guys is like trusting your neighborhood pusher.
McCain's New Attack Ad Won't Stop Pain at the Pump
Rather than scour the world for oil that is increasingly expensive and difficult to get, we can jumpstart automakers to build a fleet of plug-in hybrid and electric vehicles that get in excess of 100 mpg.
Sunday Watch 7-20-08
Imagine! Almost an entire installment of Meet the Press devoted to an interview with a private citizen who is not running for office -- who receives the attention because he...knows something.
Bush On The Environment: Top 5 Stupidest Things Said Yesterday
Although it's great to see Bush take on our nations concerns, I must call out five dumb things he said Tuesday. Most notably, "The president doesn't have a magic wand. You can't just say: 'Low gas!'"
The Hybrid vs. the Hummer Redux
How ironic that the poster boy for gas guzzling sizeable SUVs morphed into a psuedo-democratic, Green governor just in time to see gas near 5 dollars a gallon and its effects rippling through the economy.
How Obama Can Regain the Initiative on Energy
According to their results, a stunning 6 out of 10 voters now favor McCain's drilling proposal. More worrying, they note, is that voters are rejecting Obama's message of renewable fuel investment.

All this started two years ago when the Liberals took over Congress; speculators knew there would be opposition to drilling, nuclear power, and every other so called dirty energy so it just goes hand in hand ; Liberals = high energy costs... we saw this in the Peoples Republic of Falicornia a few years ago with the electricity crisis..
You've spun that just like an expert spider. Congratulations!
Sure we are and we love the high food prices, too!
OIL SHOULD BE $55.00 A BARREL AND THE REST COMES FROM SPECULATION BY THE WEALTHY AND HEDGE FUNDS.
DON'T BE FILLED YOUR BEING ROBBED!!!!!
Hmm . . . have any reason or evidence to back that up? I would love to read up on that.
umm yeah... I meant to include this
http://www.oilcrash.com/index.htm
What you don't have investments in oil like the rest of us and expect the highest returns possible?
it's funny... until you realize that we are doing this to ourselves for no good reason whatsoever on top of SUBSIDIZING the oil industry to produce more expensive barrels of oil which in turn drives up the price on every other barrel of oil no matter where it is drilled.
On the other hand 'DON'T BE FILLED'(sic) is funny too.
This site explains the many reasons that the current price of gas is reasonable and why I laugh at the pump from my Prius :)
Can't wait until I can buy a full electric vehicle!
....or, you can look at this as a good thing.
we should have re-elected Carter..., but instead we voted in Reagan (and be we..., I don't mean me!)
but oh well..., now we're behind the 8 ball
now we need to regroup and think of creative solutions to our mess.
oh..., i know....
the answer to Peak Oil is to downsize
re-localize
build light rail
re-build cities to cater to light rail and foot traffic
maybe that'll work
oh..., plus focus more on other forms of energy besides just burning things all the time
shoot..., we've been burning things sings we first cooked a mammoth on an open pit.
it's time to actually impress me..., and move on
So basically banning things isn't enough for you as a super liberal, you need to try and control every step of someone's life?
seems to me that you just don't get the facts of life - at some point it won't BE a choice - then let's see you exercise your FREEDOM OF VACATION (some republican was claiming that this is an essential freedom on the House floor the other night) without jet fuel.
